Les aqueducs de Rome : les activités de la Surintendance capitoline, une contribution essentielle à la recherche by Marina Marcelli, Massimiliano Munzi

“…They are allocated different colours on the GIS map, and linked with forms used to evaluate the resources needed for scheduled interventions.A targeted research and restoration project is currently underway on the acquedotto Traiano-Paolo, unique among the aqueducts in that components that capture water from springs near the Bracciano lake basin as well as some 57 km of ancient channels are still functioning.In 2017 the Sovrintendenza, in collaboration with the managing company ACEA ATO2 and with the support of speleo-archaeological organizations, launched a project to explore and study the artefact and map it on a GIS, in order to monitor its state of preservation and to learn more about its complex system of water capture, adduction and redistribution, which is still largely preserved in the original Roman phase.Because of the complexity of the hydraulic system, a “pilot project” was developed to determine the survey and mapping methodologies. A sample site was identified in the zone of the springs near Lake Bracciano, north of Rome. …”
